Love the new Ad positions.
Suggestion: Can we have an advert position halfway through a thread, say, after message 10 of a 20 message page? It's a great way to boost ad revenue having this extra ad on display in between content.

You can do that with a conditional statement.
For example: <xen:if is="{$post.position} % {$xenOptions.messagesPerPage} == 0 AND {$thread.reply_count} > 0">

Thanks Brogan. I did already implement this with your guide but I can't make it look neat. I like how UI.X has the advert wrapped, spaced and centred and the easy integration through the templates.
See this post for an example. http://ducatiforum.co.uk/forum/threads/lighter-smoother-quieter-clutch-£15.6560/
The ones at the top and bottom are but the one between the threads isn't.
That is basic HTML and CSS though.
See how it's done on my site - second 'post' down: http://cliptheapex.com/threads/2014-brazilian-grand-prix-practice-qualifying-race-discussion.7108/

Collapse icons.
Mike could we have an option for the font awesome collapse icon character please?
You use, at a guess, fa-plus [] and fa-minus [].
I would prefer to use fa-plus-square-o [] and fa-minus-square-o []. If there was an option, it would be easy to change them.
Also could we have collapse icons for extraUserInfo in messageUserBlock please? Like we have on AVForums e.g. here: https://www.avforums.com/threads/samsung-ue-h6400-owners-thread-related-2014-6-series-tvs.1892808/
Thanks

Nice idea, however if anyone wants to know how to change them, in your EXTRA.css
Code:
.uix_icon-collapse:before {content: "\f147" !important;}
.node.collapsed .uix_collapseNodes .uix_icon:before {content: "\f196" !important;}Stuart Wright

Suggestion. Could we have an extra option for the Navigation Style in the UI.X Navigation page, please?
I want to have the logo inside the User/Mod bar top left.
Like this.
Thanks

Sorry for the delay in responses and a huge thanks to all of you helping with support. I know its a bit tacky, but doing this allows me to work on optimizations which is the main goal of the next release seeing as how there are next to no bugs and the ones that are reported are very very small. I know some of you who have responded recently may disagree, but here are my responses below.
OH and also, we've fixed the iOS 8 flicker on fixed sidebar/sticky nav. But the best part is that we completely re-optimized our javascript and can boast a significant load time increase. Ill post benchmarking results when we're finished up.
As for the tagline, try reverting the slogan under UI.X logo. See if that helps for now as its working fine on my install. As for mobile webmaster tools, Ill defer to you guys then. If there is an improvement you'd like let me know and if a few people agree Ill make the change.
1. Right, no this can be done but this is by design. As the way it works will add 2 lines for mobile if you have a ton of buttons. We did this to save space even though Id agree left and right for tablet looks *slightly* better. But Ill take mobile over tablet any day for space optimization.
2. Yep this has been answered by @thejackarmy
As for your quick navigation bg transparency, Ive noticed this happens randomly. I dont know how to replicate the issue or whats causing it but every time I ignore it it magically goes away. The issue happens on the default theme sometimes too, its something with the quick nav.
I thought it was theme related, but since then we've noted it is due to a combination of certain plugins. Im not sure how to go about fixing it in every situation but since it works out of the box and with most plugins Ill wait to hear back on devs. If you want to try moving user tabs back to navigation (away from userbar) and let me know if the issue persists Ill take another look.
I think this is in reference to having to login every time? I noticed this issue as well, has anyone else noticed it?
That code uses .offset() which adds seconds to load time. We do something similar but it doesnt always work. I think most people can agree it works more times than it doesnt. We are considering revisiting this issue though in the next release. But the solution here will not suffice.
We are considering adding a setting that adds login register as buttons. But we made it login to save space on mobile, no other reason. If its necessary, yes a phrase or template edit is required. There is a phrase called {xen
hrase login_or_signup} iirc.
If you create a ticket Ill take a look but since it looks like youve made changes its hard to say. But Im sure the solution is just a simple style property edit. I think at least.
It accepts HTML, not bbcode. The 'custom' welcome block is literally blank by default and its for doing anything you want in that area, essentially just a template include.
We do absolutely nothing with the editor other than change icons out. So I can say with almost absolute confidence this is not caused by UI.X. But if you can prove otherwise Ill look into as the last thing I want is people leaving your forums. UIX is a framework, it actually (wherever possible) stays out of hairy places where things can break with the ONLY exceptions being navigation/postbit because, well, XenForo love the software to death doesn't make it easy to customize things in these areas.
We do not add any signature resizing code, so you'll want to consult XenForo general support here. As I dont know how to do this at first glance.
Yes as I said, absolutely nothing is done to the editor with regards to JS, which that issue clearly looks like to be related to. I imagine its a redactor issue, there are tons with iOS, some of which XenForo just fixed in 1.4.2 if I recall?
Create a ticket Ill take a look, but yeah I need more info to test that. Unless I already solved this, sounds familiar Sorry!
We plan to release an advertisement manager plugin, but yeah Brogan's code works perfectly and is what you'd want.
Did you edit navigation.css? If yes, this is why, XenForo updated this icon in 1.4.2. If no, create a ticket.

@Mike Creuzer - Again, thank you
Just two issues left:
I've also noticed there's a bug when using DigitalPoint's AdSense add-on (which means the ad can be seen behind the Quick Navigation Menu):
- Previously, the tools 'drop-down' below a post was positioned left, can this be done?
- I didn't want the search box to appear as an icon permanently, I just wanted to know what percentage was used previously for making a search icon appear, rather than a search box (responsive)

As @thejackarmy said we do most of our icons in CSS so that they work with any icon set, not just fontawesome. But yeah you cannot use a variable which is the downside. It was a tough choice, but we find this way we can work with other icon sets without anyone forcing us to use fontAwesome. Unlike other themes which force it.
As for collapse extrauserinfo, I've added it to planned features
I will consider this, but its a bit of a pain because of all the navigation styles and the organization. Other than in your example, I cannot think of a situation in which this would be useful. So I might not add this into the framework. What might make more sense is to just move the navigation, but Im not sure.

Thanks for considering. Personally I think the best place for the logo is the far top left. Presumably if you're a left to right reading society then that's where you start reading the page. And since I like to keep the header as compact as possible, it's out of the way up there. And in the perfect place if you're having a slogan up there immediately to the right of it.

@Mike Creuzer great news on the iOS fix. You have a timeframe for release yet?
Not sure exactly as we want to run through a few more things such as with the jump to top/bottom.
Did you see some bugs I reported?
